On the podcast this time, Pirate Steven and Sean are dodging, ducking, dipping, diving, and dodging in the 2004 film from Rawson Marshall Thurber, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
Don’t you just hate it when Ben Stiller gets all up in your business, threatening to ruin you financially and sticking his literally inflated crotch in your face? What a punk, am I right?
Okay, the man himself seems like a decent fellow, but his character, White Goodman, is about the farthest thing away from a good man. He’s a self-conscious jerk-face who thrives off the disappointment and misfortune of other people. He’d probably say something like, “Well, I made it because of my hard work. What’s your problemo, amigo?”
It’s a good thing that decent people exist in this world. Cue Peter La Fleur, owner and operator of Average Joe’s Gym. It’s a place where you can go to feel happy and welcome. While you’re there, be sure to pick up a game or two of dodgeball. Not only will you be engaging in the sport that saved the day, you’ll also be making the ghost of dear Patches O’Houlihan happy.
